A member asked:

Is it possible that my prescription wellbutrin is the cause for a hair follicle drug test i had to come back positive for methamphetamine? is there another test available for hair that could prove that wellbutrin is responsible for it?

Wellbutrin: Wellbutrin has been known to cause positive drug screens for amphetamine, methamphetamine, & LSD - Lysergic acid diethylamide (not sure if these are hair follicle tests) . I would discuss with a chemist who works with drug screening to find out if there is a way to show that this was a false positive.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
